The stream flows mostly north and west into Mullett Lake at Pigeon River Bay[4] at 45°26′29″N 84°33′21″W, which is nearly the same mouth as that of the Pigeon River. The course of the Little Pigeon River runs within approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) or less of the Pigeon River for most of its length.

gollark: Does *anyone* play it? How do they even make enough money to sponsor everyone? Is it a real game or just some sort of memetic virus? So many questions.
gollark: Just watched it through, pretty cool. Even though I've seen some of the stuff on Twitter and whatnot, it's neat to see more demos of it and some of the construction.
